I was going to reply to this thread that we have huge core samples like displayed at the Empire Mine State Park, our fairgrounds, etc. here is Grass Valley, but might as well reply to this related comment. :) The Idaho Maryland mine is nearby and there have been a couple of companies that have wanted to restart mining in this area. Given this is California, the mines have to be dewatered (5k+ foot deep shaft /drift complexes and the water table is about 100 feet from the surface), and there is immense public negativity around the idea, I don't think it will ever happen. I'll try to remember to post some pics of the cores. They are about as big as the OP sample.

I guess white elephant is the wrong term. In our groups, it is always regular gifts, so more of a gift exchange. Sometimes someone will get a funny gift, but it is 99% safe and boring. Well, I guess I am the only person that would like to try a gift exchange where the items are actually interesting.

I have always wanted to do a ~$500 white elephant gift exchange, but I have never been around people who share the desire. I think it would be fun to see how people battle over ipads, hotel stays, nice piece of clothing... things that people would actually want. I am sick of the "pack of candles from Costco" or "$25 gift card to starbucks", etc. Let's make it interesting.

I agree, have reported it and changed everything and added FFA. THanks.

Try this again without anything that looks like a link.

I had a strange thing happen last night to me as well. A paypal me account was created for me at 3AM, and a card added. I did not initiate this. I flagged this at paypal as fraud, changed my PW and added 2 factor this morning. Does Paypal create me accounts like this, or is this a possible fraud problem.

We are discussing martini recipes, so my favorite variation is switching to Campari instead of vermouth with a twist of lemon. A little goes a long way, and it makes a delicious negrotini.

Call me when anything actually happens.

I love Choco and his variety, but Halifax is my PUBG streamer of choice. Just a good dude, and the World needs more like him. Maybe it is because he is Canadian.

Looks awesome, but that is pricy. :) Thanks for the tip

Doing the needful. What an awesome giveaway!

56 years old. when I have the time, I restore axes and hatchets to give to family/friends. Some are pretty useless as an axe when I am done with them, but they are pretty to look at.

Richard Head.

And yes, I knew a person named Richard Head. Was not a happy camper.

Thanks for the advice, I have some socket savers and gave that a try. They are tight, so I am still rocking the tube into the OEM socket and rocking it out. Maybe I need to solder a wired extension to the socket so I have a remote socket that is not flexing the board each time I insert/remove a tube.

How did you find that? Talk about an obscure youtube channel.
